Batman Begins (2005)

SKY SHOWCASE, 9.45PM

After the superb Batman in 1989, this comic-book franchise took a dive and reached a nadir with Batman & Robin in 1997. But Christopher Nolan revived it, casting Christian Bale as the lead and Michael Caine as Alfred in a rebooted trilogy. This first instalment strips away everything from the comicbook mythos that didn’t serve the film, and tells of how Bruce Wayne became the dark hero.
